#1 Australia is smart. The Christian immigrants make great neighbors. When I was in San Diego, there were many African immigrants. The Sudanese Christian kids were awesome. You could leave a wallet sitting on a table full of kids and despite their poverty, it wouldn't even occur to them to touch it - something you wouldn't do in those neighborhoods with the native born . With proper support systems many went on to college and better lives. I read an article about one them recently - doing very well. They were beautiful children - tall, so black they were almost blue, and graceful. It made me remember why we in America love immigrants. The Somali kids were mired in the same hate/revenge/humiliation baggage that comes with Islam and were far more suseptible to gangs and the welfare mindset. It was the beginning of my own recognition of the legacy of our Christian heritage.

One reason that we in the US have fared so much better than Europe is that the majority of our immigrants are Mexican or from South America. The values of faith, forgiveness and charity come with them.

As someone who believes that all are created equal, I can't escape the observation that it certainly helps when you integrate those who already have a leg up on the benefit of those concepts.
